Event Details

Please join the MIT Club of Puget Sound and the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society for a fascinating look into the impacts of climate change on mountain peak elevations and the challenges associated with measuring their elevations.

 

When: May 7, 2025 from 6pm – 8pm, talk begins at 6:30pm (pizza and drinks available at 6pm)

Where: Sinegal 200 - Oberto Commons (2nd floor): Sinegal Center for Science and Innovation, Seattle University, 901 12th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122

 

Our speaker is Dr. Gilbertson ( MIT SB '08, SM '10, PhD '14) an Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Seattle University, where he teaches statics and dynamics courses, and an advanced controls class involving robotics.  Dr. Gilbertson will be discussing his efforts to survey the current elevations of the five last remaining “icecap” peaks of the lower 48 states, which are all in WA (Rainier, Liberty Cap, Eldorado, Colfax, East Fury). These peaks are melting lower, and so now only two remain as icecap peaks. This ongoing lowering of these peak elevations has gone unnoticed since no one had been measuring these changes. His findings on the lowering of Mt Rainier  (https://www.countryhighpoints.com/mt-rainier-elevation-survey/ ) were covered in a variety of media outlets in October 2024 (https://www.countryhighpoints.com/media-coverage/)

 

Dr. Gilbertson received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from MIT. His masters research focused on developing a safety valve for offshore oil wells in collaboration with Chevron. His doctoral dissertation focused on controlling underwater robots in difficult acoustic communication environments, in collaboration with the Office of Naval Research. Before joining SU Dr. Gilbertson taught at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology in Moscow, Russia, and at the Seattle Colleges.

 

Pizza and a variety of drinks will be available. Please RSVP by April 30, so we can buy the right amount of food.

Prescription For Bankruptcy:
America's Failing Health Care "non-system"

Why do Americans pay more than citizens of any other country for health care and yet have, at best, mediocre health outcomes? Dr. Edward Hoffer will discuss this topic, and suggest both global solutions and practical things you can do to pay less and get better care.

 

Our speaker, Edward Hoffer MD

Edward Hoffer MD is a graduate of MIT and Harvard Medical School and did his residency and fellowship at the Massachusetts General Hospital.

Dr. Hoffer has held faculty academic appointments at Harvard, the University of Massachusetts, and Boston University. He has also held appointments at several Boston hospitals (Peter Bent Brigham, Beth Israel, Boston Hospital for Women), at many Boston metro-west hospitals (in Worcestor, Natick, and Framingham), and at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington. He has either authored or co-authored over 80 publications, including 8 books and dozens of refereed journal articles, many of which deal with the application of computers to various aspects of medicine and with issues within the American healthcare system (insurance, hospitals, pharmaceuticals, etc.).

For 45 years he combined clinical practice of Internal Medicine and Cardiology with research on the applications of computers and AI to medical care, and continues to work half-time at the MGH Lab of Computer Science.

He has written and lectured extensively on the problems of the American healthcare "non-system."

 

Lunch at Alberto's Ristorante

We will be returning to Alberto's Ristorante in Hyannis because of the many rave reviews we received for the food and service in the past.

There will be a cash bar and we will be offering the same entrees as before (gluten-free is available upon request). All meals include a house salad and Tartuffo dessert.

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>The Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Wôpanâak was the language spoken by the indiginous people living in this region when the Pilgrims arrived in 1620.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">After a couple hundred years of colonial laws, wars, and diseases, hundreds of Wôpanâak tribes were reduced to four small fragmented communities, and the </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">last people for whom Wôpanâak was their first language passed away in the mid 1850's. It took only a few more generations for all traces of spoken Wôpanâak to completely fade away, with the decendants speaking only English after that.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>OUR SPEAKERS:</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://d21hwc2yj2s6ok.cloudfront.net/shrine_store/uploads/networks/143…; alt="" width="150" height="150"><br>Jessie (Little Doe) Baird</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>Jessie (Little Doe) Baird</strong> is the Director of Linguistics, Lead Linguist, and a co-founder of the <a href="https://www.wlrp.org/"><strong>Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project</strong></a>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">In the early 1990's she had dreams in which people were speaking in an unfamiliar language, and soon after that she thought that the language might be Wôpanâak, the language spoken by her ancestors.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">This inspired her to start researching everything she could find out about the original Wôpanâak language, and in 1993 she co-founded the<strong> </strong>Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project with the long-term goal of revitalizing the language, which had not be spoken for seven generations, for the people now living within the remaining anoag tribes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Because something like that had never been done before, there were many who thought that it was not even possible. But Jessie was undeterred. In her quest, she gained admission to MIT where she learned how to apply modern linguistic techniques coupled with historical records in order to understand original Wôpanâak grammar and to create a dictionary of 10,000 Wôpanâak words. (And she did all this while commuting between her home on Cape Cod and Cambridge while also raising four children).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">For this seminal work, Jessie was granted a <strong>Masters in Linguistic Science from MIT</strong> in 2000.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>In recognition of this and other brilliant achievements</strong> ...</span></p>

<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">In 2010, Jessie was honored with a <strong>MacArthur Fellowship</strong> (a.k.a MacArthur Genius Award).</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">In 2017, Jessie received and <strong>Honorary Doctorate in Social Sciences from Yale University</strong>.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">In 2020, Jessie was named one of <strong>USA Today's "Woman of the Century."</strong></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Jessie and her work on Wôpanâak language reconstruction are the subject of a PBS documentary: <a href="https://www.makepeaceproductions.com/video-wamp-trailer.html"><em>We Still Live Here: Âs Nutayuneân</em></a>, directed by Anne Makepeace.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Jessie also serves as the vice-chairwoman of the <a title="Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashpee_Wampanoag_Tribe">Mashpee Wôpanâak Indian Tribal Council</a>. </span></p>
